The Internet Blackout was just the beginning. Together, our websites and personal networks can mobilize the planet to defend the internet from bad laws & monopolies. Are you in?
From now on, we're ready to defend against the forces that brought on SOPA. When there's a threat or opportunity, our members will broadcast actions all over the internet. Help us do it.

Internet freedom and individual power are changing the course of history. But entrenched institutions and monopolies want this to stop. Elected leaders often don't understand the internet, so they're easily confused or corrupted.
When the internet's in danger and we need millions of people to act, the League will ask its members to broadcast an action. (Say, a prominent message asking everyone to call their elected leaders.) With the combined reach of our websites and social networks, we can be massively more effective than any one organization.
First, sign up. If you have a website, we'll send you sample alert code to get working in advance. The next time there's an emergency, we'll tell you and send new code. Then it's your decision to pull the trigger.
We'll keep in close touch with groups like the EFF and Public Knowledge to identify threats and opportunities. We've also got a subreddit. This will get formalized more soon, but for now we're definitely targeting ACTA in June and CISPA as it re-emerges in the Senate.
Our organization and network helped to defeat SOPA/PIPA (by making the innovative tools that powered the largest online protest in history). The Internet Defense League continues this work. But it depends on its members' donations for its tiny staff to keep working behind the scenes. Your donation makes us stronger AND helps us fight to win. $ DONATE

We're building a network of Twitter users to re-broadcast urgent alerts. Will you let the IDL post to your Twitter?
